Description
Summary:Abstract A novel concept for programmable mixed-signal circuits is presented based on programmable transmission gates. For implementation, memristively switching devices are suggested as the most promising candidates for realization of fast and small-footprint signal routing switches with small resistance and capacity. As a proof-of-concept, LT Spice simulations of digital and analogue example circuits implemented by the new concept are demonstrated. It is discussed how important design parameters can be tuned in the circuity. Compared to competing technologies such as Field Programmable Analogue Arrays or Application-Specific Integrated Circuits, the presented concept allows for development of ultra-flexible, reconfigurable, and cheap embedded mixed-signal circuits for applications where only limited space is available or high bandwidth is required.
